It has been posted several times in this thread alone that the mk2 rom works fine with full mf9 firmware. It is up to you if you wanna go the mja route or not. I have no issues what so ever on mf9.

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

On the subject of Philz, once your on the newest version (installed with the mk2 rom) you can successfully do a nandroid back-up everything including data. I have restored my mk2 install several times now with only 2 little nags. I found if you just clear cache/dalvic cache right away you will avoid a few fc's and funky behavior. The other thing I had to do was go into: System Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode and then choose LTE/CDMA. I needed to do this both each time I restored. Not saying you will need to but throwing it out there. If not I had no 4G.

This is my girlfriend's phone.....reason I am not "going the long way" right now is that I do not want to screw up her phone as I do not have the time in the immediate future to tinker with it for hours and hours..... She just wants the volume boosted in her calls and I already rooted her phone some time ago so I want to find a stable and easy to use straightforward rom that has a volume boost hack on it for now.....Literally all I am trying to accomplish tonight...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to push anyone either way. I just want to let people know I have had great success doing it without the MJA firmware. I don't want to step on Neg's toes here so if he has listed how he prefers people to install that's what people should do if they have any doubts how to get back if they fubar their phone. Especially if they are going to come here and ask his help to fix said issues. :)

MK2 modem patch - failed to work

NegaMann303,

I'm using your MJA R24 release. For some reason, I am unable to load R25, just does the Sprint boot loop. Going back to R24 works.

Software version: L720VPUEMJA

Hardware version: L720.08

Baseband version: L720VPUEMJA

Kernel version (from R24 KT): 3.4.69--KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-SPR-11.14.2013--gc59df5a

Build number: JSS15J.L720VPUEMK2

Boot loader: Philz

When I tried your MK2 Modem Patch (USB debugging enabled in developer options), it seems to do the following:

wait for "y" to continue - type Y then enter

says moving MK2 patch firmware to flash, stock recovery, flashing, reboot to special recovery (not Philz)

I selected "apply update from external storage", and selected the mk2_modem.zip file

Phone says failed to verify signatures, apply multi-CSC and then applies the file, phone reboots.

Then I get NegaLite boot screen (dots floating), in DOS window I get an error message about rm unable to locate file

I then get some cleanup message in DOS window, and the phone then reboots again

Going to Settings, more, about, baseband, it still says MJA (i.e., the MK2 modem flash didn't take).

Anything else that we can do to help debug this issue? I noticed "Verify apps via USB" was enabled so I disabled it and it still didn't update the modem firmware.

Thanks,

-Rob

Very easy to get to MK2 from MF9 while on a custom ROM/recovery...just posted a question on the Q&A forum and they found the Odin .tar MK2 modem only file and it worked.

Here is the link...worked with me while on r25...and so far the ROM is still going good...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338919
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:
Got it done thanks. Only problem I found was that my 4glte is not working. Is yours?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
should be on stock MK2 kernel and update profile and prl from settings :) Try that first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:
Tried stock and KT updated prl, but still no LTE, 3G works fine. LTE shows conected but no data transfer.

Never mind my buddy's phone has no LTE either Sprint has it down at the exact moment I updated the modem, imagine that.

Back on KT with mk2 modem working great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Just_Rob:
MK2 modem only

Indeed, you are correct. I used the instructions on page 1 exactly as shown (including powering off before download, turning off auto-reboot and F reset time). Just to be sure, I powered off, removed battery for 10s, reinserted and pwr/vol-down/home and released when I saw screen message. With Odin3.09, there is no PDA button but it's the second button (AP). I verified baseband says MK2 now.

I noticed that Roaming is set to Home only, I reset to Automatic. I noticed that to get all the settings to stick, I needed to modify one menu screen at a time, go back out all the way to settings or home screen, then back in. If I did multiple settings (i.e., roaming and roaming alerts), not everything stuck.

Is it just me or does this ROM drains battery life like crazy? I was fully charged and within an hour i dropped down to 85% without playing videos or games. Is there something i can do about this may be installing another Kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Which rom? The one your on? Sacs? Or this one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
This is the battery life in currently getting... mine you thats light uses
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KStyles69:
Im on r26 and even on r25 I have to unfortunately admit that battery life appears to be a little worse. I had like 3 hours of screen on time on previous builds. Nevertheless The ROM itself is a daily driver. % 100 working.

Yet unconclusive on battery... im just judging it on the expectation of better screen on time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buck1623:
So i updated to MK2 all is well... Thought the wifi issues would be solved in 25-26 and its not.... after a while on wifi, it disconnects and never reconnects. when attempted to reconnect it says slow or bad signal, mind u im sitting right in front of my router... i also updated to the kernel to mk2 settings...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] socos25:
I have no wifi connection issues at home on my uverse wifi, but it will not connect at work. I have to turn wifi off there if I don't it drains battery. Fortunately I get a good cell signal at work so wifi is not all that important there.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Battery life has been great for me with this ROM. I haven't ran any other. I'm using the stock MK2 kernel I got from another thread. Yesterday I got 18 hours and over 4 hours screen on time.

Wifi signal strength seems way stronger after mk2 update. Was getting 30-40% at work now its in the % 60's. Will test and report if it disconnects.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LowaEastSide:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
I just bit the bullet and jumped on the mk2 firmware band wagon. Thanks for posting this as it hit me while I was in upgrade mode since I was installing r26 also. So far nothing to report back good or bad other than all went well. No harm no foul... I'll see how things go at work and report back if anything stands out regarding signal strength, data, etc as well as how the rom upgrade is performing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:
Volume up and power release when the word recovery appears.

Just flashed the r27 build and all is good. First thing I noticed was the addition of the Samsung account setup is back. Also the xposed setup was good to go on bootup!! No more deleting data and reinstalling the framework!! Heading out to work now so will see how things go.

Does anyone have a mirror to r27?

It seems as if r24 is the only one listed on the download site.

I was under the same impression. Just click the DL button, and r27 will show up. :good:

roam settings won't stick

ok so I am on r27 and the mk2 firmware. No matter what I try I can't get the roam settings to stay changed. Either the mk2 flash is buggered or maybe the r27 install... I did choose that national roam option during the install. Is it possible that is the problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
If you got the site bookmarked refresh the page i downloaded it there mk2 roms. Its there under downloads! [MENTION=2572356]kirschdog1[/MENTION]

Yeah without the contact widget and Snote along with wifi glitching (I already applied wifi fix) I feel this Rom is a deal breaker :(. I have always loved your Rom's nega since the EVO 3D days.

Lol i was wondering the same thing i too just looked at a note 3 today won't be making the switch anytime soon . i looked around and see no roms that fit me like this one. The F@#%en kicker was Nega's rom runs so good on my phone that i had the guy at Sprint ready to let me do the one up program knowing that it was rooted with custom recovery and rom. Lol I think he wanted my phone. That's blowing no smoke but fact.

Is ./mod_sound a sign of things to come or a left-over of things that were?:confused:

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Did you flash it from philz latest recovery?

Did you flash the kernel seperately? See post 25 (i think)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
./mod_sound is removed due to those mods not working on the new 4.3

Try formatting using philz recovery, then flashing the rom

flash kt kernel, It should be working just fine. I flashed my phone multiple times just to see. Did you format all before installing? I recommend a clean wipe every install. I'm building a data backup/restore script for mja roms until we get a recovery that does it for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bpcivicsi:
Yup that did it, flashing kt kernel separately fixed wifi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:

Just a question will this ROM ever support the blue themed icons that were in the 4.2.2 ROM I really liked that.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] conradcbrown:
Followed directions precisely. Philz -> Clean Wipe -> Installed R10 -> Installed KT Kernel afterwards -> Rebooted and wifi worked for the initial setup. As soon as setup was complete and my phone started downloading all of my backed up apps from google play, wifi goes out and doesn't turn back on. Tried rebooting into recovery and flashing KT again. Nada.

Try stock? I thought KT would work as outlined in post #25. Am I going to hurt anything by trying to flash the wifi fix at this point?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hotspace:
I don't know why...but I have the same issue. R7 is rock solid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] conradcbrown:
Got it. Flashed the wifi fix anyway after trying to let it settle and a number of reboots. Worked again immediately on reboot.
